“This means the world to me and I couldn’t be happier,” she wrote on another photo. “Brazilian jiu jitsu is a passion of mine and I can’t wait to learn more and more.”
She went on to thank her instructor, Chris Light, who presented her with a note about the accomplishment that read, “Earned. Not given.”
